A good border should have a blooming sequence that overlaps in time so that in spring, at least, there is never a time when it is out of bloom. An ideal border pushes the growing, blooming season as far as possible in both directions, early and late. Consider both height and blooming period. Then consider colors, so you can work towards a harmony. The possible color combinations of shrubs in a garden are nearly infinite, and in choosing one over another, you come into your own as a landscape artist.
